United States water heater market is set to grow significantly in forecast time-frame, driven by increasing demand for energy efficient systems coupled with introduction of initiatives to reduce the environment concerns.

Global Water Heater Market revenue will surpass USD 30 Billion by 2024, as reported in the latest study by Global Market Insights, Inc. Increasing demand for replacement of conventional water heating systems along with recent developments in the efficient heating technologies will stimulate the global market. Improvement in living standards as a result of rising per capita income will increase the affordability & accessibility of these products.

Stringent government regulations to limit carbon emissions along with the increasing penetration of advanced water heating technologies will drive the global market. Growing consumer inclination toward the adoption of energy efficient systems owing to their operational benefits will stimulate the product demand. As per the Ecodesign Directive 2009/125/EC, all the energy-related products across EU member states should be mandated with ecological requirements. This directive currently covers over 40 product groups and aims at reducing energy use and mitigate the environmental impact under its scope.

U.S. market was valued over USD 2 billion in 2017. Increasing adoption of natural gas owing to limited carbon footprint when compared to coal & other fossil fuels will stimulate the industry growth. In addition, augmented supply together with reduced consumer prices have encouraged natural gas consumption that will fuel the product demand. For instance, according to U.S. Energy Information Association, in 2018, the overall natural gas consumption in the lower 48 states increased up to 11% and the total supply raised up to 10% when compared with 2017.

Solar water heater market will grow on account of increasing adoption across residential & commercial establishments owing to government subsidies & incentives toward renewable energy systems.
